'''''The Miracle of the Desecrated Host''''' is a six-panel tempera-on-panel [[predella]] by [[Paolo Uccello]], painted between 1467 and 1469 for the Confraternity of the Corpus Domini, which had also commissioned [[Joos van Wassenhove]]'s ''The Institution of the Eucharist'' (also known as ''The Communion of the Apostles'')<ref>Archives of the Confraternity of the Corpus Domini. Book B (entries and expenses).</ref>. That [[retable]] had been commissioned for the oratory of the Corpus Domini church in [[Urbino]]. The predella was completed before van Wassenhove's work and Uccello recceived his last payment on 17 October 1469 (folio 37v) and the rules made by folio 38r (a total of 18 [[florin]]s and 16 bolognini)<ref name=Schefer>Jean Louis Schefer</ref>.
Measuring 42 cm by 361 cm, the predella was moved to Santa Agatha then to the Scolopi College. It was then lost until 1858, when it was rediscovered in a barn and moved to the Ducal Palace. It had probably been used as a masons' bench and had been damaged, with the colours altered by traces of [[lime (material)|lime]]<ref name=Schefer/>. It was restored in 1954, revealing previous repainting and repairs<ref name=Schefer/>. It is now in the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino.
== Description ==
[[File:PredelleUccello.jpg|center]]
It shows an anti-Semitic story of [[host desecration]], possibly inspired by [[Bernardino of Siena]]'s sermons<ref name=Schefer/>, running from left to right and with each scene separated from the next by separately-painted half-balustrades. From left to right these show
# a woman exchanges a host with a Jewish merchant for a mantle or a Jewish usurer for money
# the Jew tries to burn the host, but it starts to bleed, alerting the guards
# a procession is organised to re-consecrate the host
# despite repenting, the woman is burned at the stake, as an angel descends from heaven to save her
# the Jew and his family are burned at the stake
# two angels and two devils argue over the woman's body

== Analysis ==
[[File:Paolo uccello, studio di vaso in prospettiva 02.jpg|thumb|Travail perspectif de Paolo Uccello sur une poterie.]]
Le travail essentiellement remarquable de Paolo Uccello est sa capacité à maîtriser la [[perspective conique|perspective]] :
* par des [[point de fuite|points de fuite]] central ou latéral pour les intérieurs (scènes 1 et 2) accentués par le carrelage.
* en mêlant des vues d'intérieur et d'extérieur dans la même scène (scènes 2, 3 et 6).
* même si les scènes 4 et 5 sont traitées dans un mode plus conventionnel, au relief écrasé (premier plan des personnages + décor paysager du fond - rappelant probablement les décors des [[Mystère (théâtre)|mystères]]).
* La temporalité se manifeste par des demi-balustres architecturées, perspectives, aux génératrices dessinées aux bords droit et gauche, séparant chaque scène et par le mouvement donné à certains objets d'un tableau l'autre (hostie, arbre...).
